Automatic Buttonhole-BERNINA ▪ Attach Automatic Buttonhole Foot #3A; set the red slide marker to the length of buttonhole desired. ▪ Position the needle over the drawn line, setting it to stitch the buttonhole perpendicular to the line. ▪ Sew the first bead of the buttonhole; stop when the red mark on the foot aligns with the red slide marker. ▪ Press the Quick Reverse button; this programs the length of the buttonhole. Continue sewing - the buttonhole is completed automatically and the machine will stop when it is finished. This buttonhole is now programmed into the temporary memory. ▪ Move the foot to another place on the drawn line and sew the programmed buttonhole on the second line. There is no need to stop or press Quick Reverse this time as the machine will simply repeat the previous buttonhole and stop automatically.
